DDA Chapter 4

First, a shot that won't appear on my blog or anywhere else. It's a photo taken on a high power microscope, not an ultrasound. But it goes with the theme VERY few people have seen this (maybe nobody I know IRL?) because most people were not filled in on the whole process.

This was taken at literally 72 hours of existence. These blobs are my babies, when they had only about 8-10 cells! The whole thing just blows me away....

Okay, now that one is just way too cool!

Jennifer your pictures give me such a warm, fuzzy feeling inside

Me too! So sweet. Can't wait to see more!

Good luck! What flavor did she choose?

It is strawberry at least, with maybe a little banana mixed in. Last night, we mixed it in with her Ovaltine and that seems to do the trick. She doesn't mind it at all and it took less time to drink a whole cup of Ovaltine than it did to take the 2tsp of straight medicine. I think we've found a winner.

Robyn - Emma and her hair dilemnas are making me smile. I guess we're never happy with what we've been given. I used to pine for curly hair when I was younger, but have come to terms with my straight hair at this point in my life. Tell her to wash those curls back into her hair!

We were talking about that yesterday here as well. Rachel got a straightener for her birthday. She's the only one of us with curly hair (and it's only slightly so) and she wants to straighten it. The other 3 of us had straight hair and wanted it curly at some point or another.

Kilimanjaro Safari Jeep Fire - Sunday 2/10/08

On Sunday afternoon, February 10th, the engine in one of the Kilimanjaro Safari Vehicles caught fire. According to the Orlando Sentinel, "Four guests requested a medical evaluation at the scene, and one of them, a woman who was injured as guests exited the ride vehicle, was taken to Celebration Health."

The ride is scheduled to reopen Monday, February 11th.

Oh my! I'm glad nobody was really hurt!

Yay for Terra (and Tia!)

I was kind of disappointed at first, at not going to an island..but...if we go to florida, we will have more money to do fun things there-so im pretty excited!

My first choice is June 14-21...i have to check at work tomorrow what day my kiddies' graduation is..I have narrowed it down to 4 places--we are using a timeshare from my grandma--but i know nothing about these places so were still doing resarch

What timeshare group is it? We've stayed in a few in that area so maybe I can help.

Here is my worksheet for dining in September/October. What do you think??

If Tutto Italia is closed during our trip we would probably put Coral Reef in its place. At least, that is the plan right now!

We will eat breakfast fairly early and will eat dinners as late as we can make a reservation. As you all know, we are used to eating dinner at 9:00-9:30 anyway because of my teaching schedule.

ETA: For some reason all my snack credits are not showing up on the worksheet here on my screen. But they are on the photobucket picture so I assume you all will see them and when my cookies are gone, so will I!

Sounds like a very delicious plan!!

Wow! Are you feeling better today?

We might get a little rain today -- we SOOOOO need it. The wind has been so bad lately that we've had multiple grass fires in my county.

Have a good day, DDA!

I definitely have a cold, but I will be fine. Thanks, Marci. How are YOU feeling today?

We need rain too; there are a few wildfires that were whipped to a frenzy in Virginia yesterday along with the roof I mentioned. There was another restaurant in town that lost its roof too!

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning. Stay warm everyone.

How are you feeling today, Elin?

Bleh...
And it is all the way up to 29 here at 12:30 p.m.!!

At least the sun is shining!

At least the sun is shining!

And the winds have died down!

Hey!!! I'm a young snot AND I knew who he was!!!

my five:

1. Kirk Cameron
2. John Cusak
3. Andrew McCarthy
4. Vincent D'Onfrino
5. Jesse L. Martin

Maybe I should just copy your list.

1. John Cusak
2. Vincent D'Onofrio
3. Johnny Depp
4.
5.

The last two are hard. It's kind of a toss up between Patrick Dempsey, Hugh Jackman, John Travolta, Mark Ruffalo, Andrew McCarthy and Rick Schroder

One more post, so I have a cool post count.

Very cool count. Sorry I missed you last night!

Bernadette, I'm putting the DVD's in the mail tomorrow as well.

Thanks! Good luck with the MRI. Drive safe!

Anyone stayed in a Standard Room at the Beach Club? Trying where to figure out to request with Rees (Not a long walk and quiet). Thanks!

I know you hear conflicting reports about wether they read a room request fax but I think I would send one if I were you. Hope you get a perfect location for your long awaited trip!

So I just spent the last hour trying to get rubber cement out of my carpet My darling daughter left the jar ajar and it spilt allllll over!! This is after spilling paint earlier tonight. I actually went in and woke her up to help....ended up sending back to bed after about 10 minutes. I am just so frustrated with my family after this weekend.

Doesn't sound fun.

I'm off to work, although I still haven't learned not to go in this early since I can NEVER get out when I'm supposed to. Is it Saturday yet?

You need to leave early!

How are you feeling?

I had to come to work this morning to take care of a few urgent items. I also wanted them to see me to see that I really am still this sick with just a stupid cold. Today we had a "State of the Association" luncheon which is actually quite nice but I certainly wasn't up for that and I know no one would want to sit anywhere near me. So I took care of a few things and am heading home now. Emma doesn't have school today so my DH went to his Mom's. Maybe I can beat them home and have the house to myself for an hour or so.

Well, I need to get to work. Still not feeling all that great this morning, but duty calls. Have a great day, DDA!

Hope you're feeling better too!!!

That sounds revolting. But congrats on getting it down!!!!

FYI - Pin sale at Disneyshopping - up to 70% off!

DANG! Last year I knew about this ahead of time and got up at midnight to buy my pins. Of course all the $2.99 pins are gone. I bought a bunch of the Christmas advent sets. With the 15% off they are only $2.12 per pin, and I got free shipping from Disney Visa. I am tempted to buy some of the other sets but $3.40 per pin isn't a very good price.

That's not good!

I hope everyone who isn't feeling well is on the road to recovery soon!

 

[tmfranlk]

Bernadette and Marci - I'm so sorry that you aren't feeling better yet. I hope that today's the day!

Elin- Take care of yourself and fell better!

Deb - I like the new shirt!

Jen - Congrats on the trip!

Becky - Hope you aren't too sore today. Hope the trip works out!

Most of you - Stay warm! We're pretty cold today too with either 1-4" or 4-7" of snow predicted, depending on who you ask.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Tia - I'm glad Terra is taking her meds. Though I agree with Bernadette that it sounds gross!

I had lasagna for lunch today, that I made over a month ago and it was just as good now as it was then. I Love my food saver, and recommend it to everyone.

 

[my3princes]

we tried tape, regular glue various other "stick" together devices....none of them stuck cardboard to cardboard...and the rubber cement at least did that....and made a puddle in my carpet

I also use the glue tape. It is just like rubber cement, but in a tape dispenser type thing. You can find it in the scrapbooking section at Walmart.

Did you freeze it or just use the foodsaver and refrigerate it? I got one for Christmas, but it was a display model so I don't have the users manual. Are there specific recipes for it? At least now I know who to bug with questions



Amy are you around? I have sugar cookie questions. I made the dough and it is resting comfortably in the fridge I also made marshmallow fondant and that is resting too. When I make the cookies do I need to frost them before the fondant? What makes the fondant stick to the cookies? HELP please

We had perfect rooms in October, Denise. They were standard view on the first floor. We had patios that opened onto the walkway between BC and Epcot and I didn't think the walk to the main part of the resort was that bad. Stormalong Bay was pretty far unless you walked outside, like we did.

I had requested First Floor, close to Epcot.

Thanks, Elin. What map is that? Is there a full size version? So looking at the map, Epcot would be South, lake and BWI are to my West?

Lindsay, where was your room on this map?

Thanks so much for the help.
